Jeremy, brilliant, and thanks!
I downloaded the prerelease, set the freelinking filter to [tag[Concepts]]
with case insensitive, and confirmed that a new tiddler with
"Tiddlywiki community develops plugins, macros, and filters"
shows Tiddlywiki (even with case difference), plus those last three terms,
lit up as links (but not community). Just as envisioned!
Of course, I'm not in a position to understand yet what the performance
drag will be on larger projects, but at least I should be able to narrow
the scope of freelinks, without losing them altogether, if things get too
slow.
Meanwhile, I don't know whether anyone else actually might have preferred
some variant of the behavior as you initially set it up. Would some wish to
disable freelinks *except* on some limited set of tiddlers? For example, an
author might have plot-brainstorming and character-sketching tiddlers where
freelinks (or freelinks to all characters and events) are helpful, but want
to ensure that tiddlers with a "clean-prose" tag provide a reading
experience that suppresses all internal freelinks. That's not my use-case,
but I'd hate to imagine that my own nudge (to filter-limit the targets for
freelinks) breaks something that would be welcome to others!
Thanks again for the super-responsive coding!
